Operation

Front Panel

Port Selection/Link LED

The LED turns green when the connected computer is powered-on. The

corresponding LED will also illuminate red when that PC port is currently selected.

Port Selection Button

Each push button on the front panel corresponds with a PC port. Pressing the

button will immediately select that port.

K/M Reset

K/M Reset resolves the majority of problems developed by keyboard and/or

mouse device replacement or configuration changes. Press down buttons 1 and 2

simultaneously for 2 seconds to reconfigure the whole system without having to

turn off the KVM switch or any attached computers.

Auto Scan

The KVM automatically scans through the powered-on computers in sequence on a

fixed time interval (see Scan Time below).

To activate Auto Scan, press down front panel push buttons “3” and “4”

simultaneously. The port LED flashes during Auto Scan. Auto Scan is effective for

powered-on computers only. To exit the Auto Scan mode, just tap any one of the

push buttons.
NOTE: When Auto Scan detects any keyboard activity, it suspends the scanning

until the activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer in sequence. The

length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is adjustable, see below.
